There is no support for RSS yet in the 386BSD kernel. %MEM is based on RSS. %CPU does work, although it will be zero for any process that is swapped out or has no accumulated CPU time. Load average works here...try running an end- less loop and see if it changes gradually toward 1. --- David Greenman davidg%implode@agora.rain.com
